Smoked Out.

Chas. J.. Fitch, the recently appointed
clerk OF the United States court at Grand
Rapids, has entered upon his official duties
at the Valley City. The bar of Van Buren,
has lost, by the removal of Brother Fitch.
one of its ablest members. Honorable in all
his dealings, his word is al good as his bond,
and by his gentlemanly department, he had
secured, not only the universal esteem of his
brother lawyers, but the regard and conf
dence of a large circle of clients and q still
larger circle of warm personal friends.
As slight token of their esteem and of
their regret at parting with Mr.. Fitch, the
members of the bar, on Friday evening last,
at the court room, presented him with
beautiful, thirty dollar, meerschaum pipe.
Judge Hilton made the presentation speech
and perforated substantially as follows:
"When my brother Fitch shall elevate his
heels TO the level of his beard, burning the
choicest Lone Jack encircling his head
with the odoriferous fumes arising from this
little gift, in rings that, wide spreading,
dissolve in the blue empyrean, may he re-
member kindly his brothers who, though not
present, indulge in the same easy luxury
Judge Lawton added: And may he see,
within those beautiful, evanshing rings, the
cheerful faces Of the bar of Van Buren, coun-
ty, looking approvingly down upon him."
Brother Annable suggested that Brother
Fitch should mot conceive them to be the
faces of angels, as they were others like unto
himself, looking earnestly for their fees"
Mr.. Fitch, who seldom loses his equanim-
ity, WAS considerably broken up, but man
aged to return the thanks that all knew he
felt more heartily than he was able to
express. The occasion was an exceedingly
happy one, and the present very sppropri-
ate, as its recipient is an inveterate smoker.
While, no doubt, the gift was gratefully
received and will be highly treasured, nothing
of the kind was needed by Mr.. Fitch to
assure him of the high regard in which he
Is held by his brother practitioners.

Sharp was in Jail at Kalamazoo a short

Sharp had just married, and when arrested

bride. He has wife and three children in
Pennsylvania. Sharp's father is a notorious
and life long criminal and is now serving a
life sentence. Sharp returned with the
officers voluntarily, without requisition.
Messrs. Brown and Marshall could not
speak too highly in praise of Officer McCabe's
skill and courage in managing the arrest, and
said that they had not, in an experience of
twelve years at the detective business, met a
better or more efficient officer.
Sharp has twice broken Jail in Pennsyl-
vania and, when arrested, said that il he
